So...90% of Crimeans voted to join the USSR in a fair and open election with international observers?


And to leave


Evidence?

A) No international observers were allowed.

B) Russia President’s Human Rights Council mid-point estimate: 55 percent of polled voters for annexation, turnout 40 percent, 22.5 percent of total Crimean population voting in favor.

C) Falklands was a UK territory, not invaded, and had free & fair elections with 90% in favor because they were scared of Argentina trying to annex them. Pretty much the opposite situation on all points. But please, go ahead and show evidence I am wrong ;)

I love when people think the results they like are fair election and the others are rigged.

So you don't have any evidence and Russia was caught red handed that they lied about the results...and that is your response? LOL. K.

Look, when you get caught lying about the election...yeah, people tend to believe the fact you are lying when it benefits you.


Fake News.

Look, I don't mind agreeing with you that Russia invaded and annexed a part of Ukraine. But what in this situation makes it inherently different from the malvine islands war and annexation? Just the links? Someone could think that your reasoning is unrealiably biased, and get back to the question of Ukraine and Russia and get some doubts if it is really a good reasoning (Russia annexed a past part of itself) or just common sense prejudice against some causes. I could almost say beforehand what is your opinion about Israel and the Palestina state.
